Hon. G. W. GOOdsoe was seriously i'll
for about one week, and it was at the
time the railroad bond question came up.
He was sick in bed for four days. hence
his silence on that score Mr.. Goodsoe
has made an excellent representative.
ALWAYS attentive to the interests OF
Thomas county, and an able and elo-
ouent advocate of northwestern Kansas.
He has the highest esteem of his com
neers in the house, and Thomas county
should feel proud of such good repre-
sentative.
Victor Rylander special agent for the
sale of the L, Z. railway company La q,
was out here from Chicago to look over
the ground last week. He informed us
that he has ten men employed to canvass
the middle and western states. His aim
is to settle up all the t. p railway lands
in western Kansas this spring and sum-
mer. He says he will have bi-monthly
excursions soon from Indiana, Illinois,
Iowa and other states. This means bus
mess. Just think of every quarter sec
ton of railroad land having an actual set
tier on it. Thomas county will have the
biggest boom ever known. All prepare.
The Thomas County CAT is the caudal
appendage of the Dark Horse at Eustis,
and ways accordingly in its remarks
about the towns in Sherman county
fisherman County Republican.
The CAT advocates what it sees to be
right. 1t has always believed Eustis 10
be the best town in Sherman county. 1t
is the county seat, and we don't hesitate
to say so. We had rather be the caudal
appendage of the Dark Horse than Il
horses -. as some are called in COM
mon parlance.
The Atwood board of trade have re-
ceived from Charles F. Adams commu-
nicatiOn in which it is stated that it is the
intention of the Union Pacific to extend
their Colby branch to Atwood. The ac-
ton of congress in legislating to the dis
advantage of the Union Pacific may de-
lay this for time, but the Salina and
Western extension will be built to At
wood this season. in spite of the action
of the Santa Fe forestall. We may have
the Santa Fe as well as the Union Pacific
before snow comes next winter At

a new alter rail and pulpit platform
has been ordered for the church, and the
musical tastes of the people will soon be
delighted by the skillful renditions on
the new organ, soon to be put in place
Logan Republican.
A new "alter" has been found to work
well in cases where pastors had failed to
pass the age when they were no longer
dangerous.-[Atwood Citizen.
Last week a man who has claim in
